Ruiz to “scale back” NIL money?

I don't understand how he would be getting more or less "bang for the buck" next year than this. What return is he getting right now that he would or wouldn't be in year 2?

Why uh ohh?

It only makes sense. The value will go to players who've actually done something in college over time. They "deserve" it more. There are also less of them.

The market will sort itself out it always does.

Its uh oh because when you look at it objectively he actually been the market.

He doesn’t even insinuate existing players will get more.

He said that earlier this year. Scale back doesn’t mean “stop paying”.

Miami has always needed more than 1 person. They have always had more than 1 person.

Otherwise yeah, run to the hills. It’s over.

Is there an organized breakdown of Miami’s NIL contributors somewhere?

Would be interesting to see how big the slice of the pie Ruiz is providing versus everyone else.
 
I haven't seen a breakdown

Ruiz definitely top in NIL deals

Car deal for TVD. Is he the only one?

Hooters signed a couple OL even Cleveland Reed
 
It's just business. What he's saying essentially is that after this initial boom (year, maybe a few?) NIL valuation is naturally going to scale back and he will adjust along with it. Why would he keep (allegedly) signing multi-million dollar deals with QBs if the market value falls to say a couple hundred grand?
 
What we need is more than just Ruiz. I look at Bryce Young being used in a Dr Pepper commercial; well, he’ll be in several. Our program needs to become even more marketable, where these kids r getting offered several NIL opportunities.

I’m assuming Ruiz is in the business of helping the U, but he looked at NIL as a biz opportunity to promote his company, as well. The returns have to make sense for the type of $$ he’s shelling out.

A couple of points. Firstly, with Ruiz and Cristobal being friendly, I’m sure there was a discussion about spending a little extra up front to get the proverbial “wheels off the ground”. Especially in regards to the transfers we brought in. Sort of like the way a new business needs extra capital when they first open.

Secondly, we talked about return on investment all off season. A lot of these NIL deals, especially the really big ones were essentially boosters having a **** measuring contest. Like when rich guys over pay at an auction just to impress their peers. As time goes by and more common sense sets in, we’re going to see more and more of these guys pull back the reins on huge deals. We’ve already seen how Texas A&M has scaled back after breaking the bank on 2022 kids. It’s going to happen everywhere.

It’s common sense really

These discussions are actually painful to read
